It was just an introductory syntax class paper, so definitely not that interesting theoretically. It started with an exploration of the data, showing that Yoda in the OT uses both significantly more "normal" sentences, and also significantly more varied word order patterns than in the PT, and then proceeded to the (generative, pre-Minimalist) syntactic analysis of the PT syntax (since that was the only data that was sensically analyzable).

That analysis was straightforward, and effectively what I've written here: VP-fronting, leaving TP/IP, NegP, and any AuxP stranded, and inserting and inflecting "do" when necessary so that the phi-features in T/I are expressed.

The paper concluded with some interesting/weird data and edge cases, such as the difficulty of creating imperatives in this system, and the oddness of questions for much the same reason as the imperatives ("More to say, have you?", "Trained as a Jedi, you request for him?").

Like I said, not too interesting theoretically, but a fun paper for a first-year grad student to write. :)
